Chapter 127: Old Days
"Yuan Zhi, are you joking, so far, what else is there to say to that beast." Guan Yu's words and demeanor made no secret of his displeasure.
Xu Shu shook his head: "The eldest prince I know will never be the one who did such a ridiculous thing, I think he is very likely to be instigated by the annihilation people, and he was confused for a while." If I could see him, I might be able to persuade him to change his ways, not to make mistakes again and again, and if so, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”
Xu Shu is different from Guan Yu, Xu Shu has never been like Guan Yu, Liu Feng has the prejudice of "son of a moth" from the beginning, in his opinion, even if his special identity is put aside, Liu Feng is still a rare young talent in the world, Xu Shu of course does not want to see that the young man he admires is "ruined" in this way.
"Turning his back on his father, killing my beloved son, destroying my generals, all kinds of heinous crimes, how can he be done just because he was instigated by destroying people, he is simply a long-planned annihilator. At this point, don't you think it's ridiculous that you still have hope for him? ”
Perhaps because of the stimulus, Guan Yu's conversation was a little out of place, and he actually spoke quite disrespectfully to Xu Shu in front of the generals.
Xu Shu didn't think it was strange, but said lightly: "The lord will arrive later, he asked us to stay still for the time being, and we must wait until we meet him before making a decision." Before the lord arrives, I think it's better for Yun Chang not to act rashly. As for why I have to see the eldest prince, I naturally have my reasons, Yun Chang, you don't need to ask more. ”
Xu Shu did not refute Guan Yu on the surface, but in fact, he used Liu Bei to suppress Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was angry in his heart, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he said meaningfully: "Yuan Zhi, I know that beast has the grace to save your mother to you, and you have always had a good impression of him, but I want to remind you that in the face of great rights and wrongs, you don't have to be bewitched by that beast." ”
Guan Yu's words were clearly warning Xu Shu not to try to take the opportunity of meeting Liu Feng to openly betray Liu Bei with Liu Feng.
Angered by the words, Xu Shu's face changed, and he said with a straight face: "Yun Chang's words are questioning my Xu Shu's loyalty?" Or are you questioning the lord's ability to read people? ”
Guan Yu was speechless for a while, and in the face of Xu Shu's solemn expression, his tone couldn't help but soften a little: "I'm just a kind reminder, Yuanzhi, you don't have to misunderstand, if you really want to see that beast, I won't stop you." ”
"Then thank General Guan for the reminder, I'll go." Xu Shu bowed his hand slightly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
………………
In the city of Linxiang, the banquet of celebration had just been placed, and Liu Feng had just drunk no more than three cups with the generals, and the defenders of the city gate came to report, saying that there was a person outside the city who came from the enemy camp, claiming to be Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, and wanted to have a meeting with Liu Feng.
"Mr. Yuanzhi, isn't he in Xiakou?"
Liu Feng was a little surprised at first, but immediately realized that the fire he set in Yiyang probably woke Liu Bei up, knowing that he, Liu Feng, was no longer the person who allowed them to bully him before, and he had to deal with it with all his might. Now Liu Bei wants to rely on Zhuge Liang's political talent to guard Xiakou and allocate grain and grass, so the only way to do this is to transfer Xu Shu, the No. 2 strategist, to give advice.
Xu Shu's arrival was not completely unexpected, what really surprised Liu Feng was that Xu Shu would come to see him alone.
"Let's go, let's go meet Yuan Zhi for a while."
Liu Feng put down his wine glass and went to Xicheng, and the civil and military officers were also curious and followed Liu Feng together.
Go up to the top of the city, look down at the city, and sure enough, by the moat on the right side of the main gate, Xu Shu is wearing a green shirt, standing on a horse, not only does not have a guard around him, but he does not even wear a weapon for self-defense.
At this moment, Xu Shu also saw Liu Feng on the head of the city, so he raised his head and smiled: "Eldest son, it's been a long time." ”
Xu Shu is still the same Xu Shu, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and he is not surprised when he is in danger.
"Mr. Yuanzhi has been absent for a long time." Liu Feng also smiled and arched his hand.
Xu Shu moved directly opposite Liu Feng and said loudly: "The old man has been absent for a long time, doesn't the eldest prince want to come down and catch up with me?" ”
Liu Feng even dared to face Liu Bei, not to mention Xu Shu, who was said to be innocent in the past, and he was going to go down to the city to meet him for a while.
At this time, Ma Tan stopped Liu Feng and said in a low voice: "Lord, Xu Yuanzhi is Liu Bei's right-hand man, and he is a great threat to us, since he sent it to the door himself, it is better to take the opportunity to ......"
The unfinished words, how could Liu Feng not hear the implication, but he waved his hand decisively, and said with a calm smile: "Yuan Zhi dares to come, that is, he trusts me as a person, how can I embarrass him, as for whether he will help Liu Bei deal with me, it is just his own master, and it does not affect my personal friendship with him." ”
Liu Feng's words were frank and open, and everyone was impressed by them, so Ma Jian stopped stopping him, and nodded: "I understand, be careful." ”
The city gate was wide open, and Liu Feng rode out, but he did not cross the suspension bridge, but only separated from a moat several zhang wide, and Xu Shu stationed in the horse.
Xu Shu looked at the familiar young man in front of him, and he was full of emotion in his heart, he suddenly understood what Guan Yu said, the current Liu Feng is no longer the Liu Feng of the past.
However, what Xu Shu felt was not the cruelty and ruthlessness that Guan Yu said, but a kind of heroic and heroic temperament that swallowed the world. Xu Shu also felt this feeling from Liu Bei, but Liu Feng was stronger and more open.
"Eldest Prince, why are you doing this?" Xu Shu let go of his emotion, and he still had to say something that was difficult to say.
Liu Feng smiled faintly: "Mr. Yuanzhi's eyes can see the things of the world, can you still understand why I am doing this." ”
Xu Shu shook his head and sighed: "There are some things, the lord also has his difficulties. But in the final analysis, it is not anyone's fault that caused such a situation, the eldest prince, instead of letting outsiders see the jokes, why not take a step back and release the suspicions. ”
"Ice release? Haha-" Liu Feng laughed with irony, "Mr. Yuanzhi, do you think that at this point, is it possible to release the previous suspicions?" Are you doing my best, or are you pushing me to a dead end? ”
Xu Shu's expression became gloomy, in fact, as early as when he decided to come to meet Liu Feng, he already knew that the result would be like this, but he still came with a little imaginary hope. Perhaps, as Guan Yu said, Liu Feng has the grace to save his mother, and Xu Shu, who has a deep chivalrous heart, really can't bear to "take revenge".
Liu Feng naturally saw the concerns in Xu Shu's heart, so he smiled proudly: "You and I have our own positions, no one can force anyone, Mr. doesn't have to worry too much, you can do what you have learned in your life to deal with me, it is really a great honor for me Liu Feng to be an opponent with a character like Mr." ”
